Lyrics: Just the thought of you can drive me wild
When I look at my wife, I feel a lot of things:
Anger at myself when I see the scar on her face.
Pride when I see the curve of her stomach, pregnant with our baby.
Lust when I see her body, the perfect angles and planes of her tall, dark form.
Jealousy when I see her sleeping – a vision of beauty and tranquillity – a small smile on her lips as she dreams; her escape from our world of strains and sacrifices.
Power when I hold her in my arms, knowing that a single move could shatter her, but that it would also shatter me and my world.
Joy when she smiles, laughing quietly at a joke that only the two of us understand.
Love when she looks at me, meeting my eyes and telling me with a single glance that I am everything to her, just as she is everything to me.
And, sometimes, all of them at once. Every one of my emotions raging through my mind, fighting for dominance as I lay in bed with my Emily, the heat from my body keeping her warm, and the feel of her body making my skin tingle with sparks of fire. My eyes are closed and she's asleep, but just thinking of her – knowing she's there beside me – is enough to make the emotions boil over. So I hold her recklessly closer, wondering if she knows she drives me wild.
